After I was done with a little business in our daughter's elementary school, there was one hour before I was picked her up for dismissal. So three of us mothers got together and decided to go for a little coffee break. We first picked Starbucks, but quickly upgraded it to a nicer cafe run by a Korean owner. $6 for a cake and coffee. We chose a table by the window and tasted each other's cake. This is something I remember from a long time ago. This brought up the memory of a cafe we used to go when I was in college. We just chatted over a cake and coffee there. I experience this feeling one in a while since we moved to Torrance, a feeling that you encounter something which you have forgotten for a long time. I feels like my going back to my old days in Japan or experiencing a totally new side of the US.
